My Website

 This is my website I made in DreamWeaver.  I got to see how to do a bit of web design and work with html links.  My website includes a bio of me, my elevator pitch, my animation project, and my video project.

Chase Scene

I made a chase scene in e9.  My chase scene includes and engaging chase around the school.  I used the six shot system to capture all angles of the chase.  This chase is about 25 shots and it lasts for about 1 minute total.

Facts

Im an idiot!!!!

Printing Tutorial Video

This is my first video project.  I used the six shot system to capture how to print a paper.  I video taped Jack printing paper in the library.  Then I edited the video using final cut pro.

Personality Test

My personality on this test was the lion.  My personality is that I am always focused on a goal and I step on people to reach it.  I am very competitive and aggressive.  But I do have certain weaknesses. I am argumentative and bossy at times.  I also have a hard time expressing my feelings.

ESTJ Personality

I am an ESTJ personality type.  This means I think of things logically and rationally.  I value security and social order above all else. There are some other famous ESTJ's personalities such as, John D. Rockefeller and Sam Walton.  They were both prominent business men and they share the same personality.

Six Shot System Tutorial

This is the six shot system.  In this system I will show you all six shots.  The close-up of hands, close-up of face, medium shot, over the shoulder, extreme wide shot.   I will teach you the meaning of each shot and how to take it.

This photo right here is the close up of hands.  It shows what the character is doing and working on.

This is a wide shot.  It shows the character from head to toe and introduces the character into the scene.

This is a close up of the character.  It shows detail of the characters face and shows his current emotion.

This is the over the shoulder shot.  It shows the audience what the characters doing from the character's perspective.

This is my extreme wide shot.  It shows the character and the setting where that character is.  This is used often to introduce a scene.

This is a medium shot.  This showing the person from the waist and up.  This is used to show conversations between the characters.

Social Media

After reading this article about how colleges look into your social media, I take into context about how social media plays such big part in todays society.  Before reading this article I knew that social media played a pretty big role, but not as big as I thought.

I have some points to question in this article. How often do colleges and employers look at your social media and how big of a role in their application process is it?  If your social media is private I wonder if they can still see your account of if making it private actually stops them from seeing you= social media,

I was surprised to see that colleges and job employers use social media as part of their employment and application process.  When people tweet, post, pin, etc. shouldn't they have the right to freedom of speech no matter what?

This impacts my own thinking because now I think of social media as a place people such as employers and applicants can see me rather than being connected to the social world.http://blogs-images.forbes.com/kashmirhill/files/2011/09/Why-employers-rejected-candidates.jpg

This is my house in Sketchup Animation. This is my final animation in e9.  I messed up a little bit on this house and completely took out the garage. Please try to avoid that. I found Sketchup to be little harder than photoshop animation.

How to write Your Name in Photoshop Tutorial

I will show you how to do this simple animation.

 1) First, you have to type your name in the 600 by 150 pixel area.  Choose the type of text and color.  Then you have to rasterize the layer.



2) Next you take the eraser tool with the hardness at 100% and you have to start erasing little at a time and make a new frame every time you erase.  Make sure that you an only see 1 layer at a time.



3) Now, you duplicate each layer every time after you erase a little bit.  Then make sure that you only see 1 layer so you can see what you are erasing.

4) Just keep erasing a little bit at a time until you erase all your letters.







5) Once you have erased all your letters, select all your frames.  Also press create new frame animation on the bottom of the page.

6) Once you have selected all your frames click on the three bars on the lower right hand of the page. You will see the option create new frames from layers and click on that.s

7) Select all the frames and click on the three bars.  Then select reverse frames and you are good to go! Congratulations you have created an animation!

This is my ten words.  I used a new animation tool this time.  I didn't do frame by frame animation this time, I used video timeline.  I put words in the final position and worked backwards and used transitions.

This is my second animation using "Squash and Stretch." I did add an exit animation with the ball getting bigger when it exits.  This ball is bouncing over my name.

This is my very first E-com project.  I animated a ball bouncing, the ball stretches out as it goes down because it is gaining speed.  When the ball hits the ground it squashes down. The process is called "Squash and Stretch."
